Read the Course Syllabus!:
Read the Course Syllabus! The syllabus explains the course organization, the grading policy, the types of assignments & other important information. You are expected to read the syllabus & know its contents. I suggest you print & save it. Many questions you will be tempted to ask the instructor in an email have already been answered in the syllabus.
So, you have a question! :
So, you have a question! How do you ask the instructor a question in an online course? Email ,make an appointment, or via phone. However, rather than answer the same question a “gazillion” times via email, many instructors answer student questions in an email sent to entire class.
When is it due? :
When is it due? Contrary to popular belief, most online courses are not self-paced ; their assignments have firm due dates. The instructor sets the pace. Find the course calendar ! Learn the due dates for the assignments in your online course. 1 DQs due per week. Each will open on a Monday and will close on a Thursday 3 unit test (online). Each will open on a Wednesday and will close on a Friday Final exam will be taken on campus Are there any penalties for lateness ?
Tips for Success:
Tips for Success Budget your time Don’t procrastinate; don’t get behind Meet deadlines Login to D2L (3-5 times per week minimum ) Always save a copy of your files Participate actively Do your work “off line” and save your files to flash drive or your computer. Then you are able to copy/paste directly into forum. Confused? Need Help? Questions? Ask your instructor and classmates!
Answering Discussion Questions/HW:
Answering Discussion Questions/HW DQ’s must be typed directly into forum. NO ATTACHMENTS WILL BE GRADED. Homework assignments ARE submitted as attachments into the dropbox. Each DQ has an open and close date. No late postings will be accepted/graded. 1DQs due per week (unless it is a test week) Rubric for grading is listed in content section of course. Don’t fill the discussion board with “agreement” replies that don’t really add new ideas to what is being presented. Should use one additional resource for each DQ
Good Luck!:
